We purchased the truck in 2018. Starting last year the truck starting losing power, not cutting on. Replaced the battery and have had 5 mechanics check it. Not one mechanic has been able to find the issue. Today my truck cut off in a tunnel with my children in the car. This could have and felt like an extremely dangerous situation. Upon further research nissans losing power is a common issue. Nissan needs to take action and fix the malfunctions. I can’t afford to be without a car, nor should i have to repair an issue that nissan is responsible for.

When i stepped on the brakes they seemed to react normally. Then the pedal went to the floor. At that point it was braking but not as efficiently as it should. The inefficiency of the brakes would have caused me to overshoot the stopping point of the intersection. Rather than stop in the middle of the intersection, i applied the accelerator to get through the intersection. The brakes continued to operate in that manner for the reminder of that trip. On all subsequent uses of the truck, which was to get back to our hometown dealership, the brakes did respond normally. It has been at the dealer since 2/9/20 and they have not been able to replicate the problem. They have checked dtc's, wiring, vacuum hoses, rotors, pads, brake booster, master cylinder, and fluid and cannot find any problems.*dt

When driving at any time, morning, afternoon.... Check engine light will go on and within seconds, minutes..., engine will rev, seize and when pressing gas, engine will rev but barely any propulsion. If driving at 60mph, engine will seize and speed will drop immediately. No control of motor or speed. This is the 15th time i'm 2 years that this has happened.

I bought my nissan pathfinder june 2012 brand new...I haven't had any issues with my vehicle until august 2, 2018 in my garage i tried to start it but it wouldn't crank. I had it towed to nissan service....I was told it shouldn't be doing this if you bought your car new...After diagnosis they told me it was my computer (ecm)so, is that normal for a 6 year old car?Also, no warning signs or anything..

While vehicle is in motion, the engine will all of a sudden seize. This has happened 5 times, 2 times on the freeway at 55 - 65 mph, seized in motion, stepped all the way down on gas after engine seized, engine revs, hardly any power, almost down to 10 mph in less than 10 seconds. Both times, was afternoon rush hour and while trying to get to the shoulder lane, i had to cross 2-3 lanes of very fast traffic, dropping to roughly 10 mph, barely missing impact with other cars, both times. The other 2 times, i was yielding while making a corner and the car seized, same spot and same experience as the freeway, what feels like almost complete engine failure. 5th time happened today, making a corner, tried to excel, engine reved and seized. All times, the engine light came on prior to. Please note, there was a recall for what appears to be the same issue, nhsta recall 11v-592. When i checked with nissan and dealer, they both said my vin wasn't part of the recall, but i'm experiencing the same issue described in the recall. This is a major accident waiting to happen.

If the transmission in the "n" position (neutral), the parking break can't hold the car on incline space! That problem exist in all nissan pathfinders year 2012 and up, we find it in the other pathfinders on the dealership too (that means it is not the single problem just with my car), but the dealership technician told me that this is normal for this model(?!?) if the transmission in the "p" position (park) that problem does not exist (because the transmission holds the car) but the parking break itself can not hold the car on incline! I did not find the same problem on any other models/makes...
